Episode numbers

For the past few months, various IPs have continuously been adding unsourced episode numbers to infoboxes despite being asked not to, warned and even blocked. The problem with this is that the episode numbers are unsourced; with most TV programmes they have seasons and a less amount of episodes and thus it is easier to keep track off, but soap operas have thousands of episodes (with Emmerdale and Coronation Street having 10,000+, and some American soaps having even more). Many of the episode numbers in the past have been changed as they have proven to be wrong. Obviously some are easier to source than others (AKA Emmerdale's recent 10000th episode) but most are extremely difficult to source. I hence wanted to ask for a consensus on how to move forward with this. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue I have is the original research aspect of episode numbers. They are being added by various IPs, sock accounts and grouped edits that appear to have been arranged off Wikipedia. When asked where the information came from, one IP stated it was from Fandom which certainly is not a reliable source. Some episodes are grouped together, broadcast on the same day etc. I would not argue with them being added, if in the development section the information is sourced. The source would need to clearly state the episode number and the first appearance date. These random additions seem harmless but how many errors are we potentially allowing to be introduced? It is easier to just not include the information.Rain the 1 11:42, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
